r. Willard Libby.

Mr.. F. Willard Libby died yesterday after
noon at his summer cottage at Pine Point,
from the effects of a stroke of apoplexy re-
ceiyed few days ago. For time it was
thought he might rally, but feverish symp-
toms appeared yesterday morning and he
died about 4 p. IN.
Mr. Libby was a son of the late f. O.
Libby. He went into the insurance business
with Mr.. John Dow, and after that gentle
mans death Mr.. j. III. Coffin entered into
the firm under the firm name of Dow, Coffin
81 Libby, and one of our strongest and most
reliable agencies Mr.. Libby was about A
years of age. He married Miss Mary
Churchill, daughter of the late Edwin
Churchill, who survives him. Mr.. Libby
was most courteous gentleman, of decided
literary tastes, and fond of society. He was
also an excellent man of business, and will
be much missed by not only his large circle
Of friends, but by the companies whose in
terests he had so much at heart.

The offaI from the stores.

To the Editor of the Press:
The action taken by the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen Monday afternoon in refer
ence to Mr.. Taylor and his contract for col
Letting the city offal, calls up a matter OF
vital Importance to the health of our city
By the report of the meeting in the PRESS
see it stated that Alderman Briggs said he
thought the storekeepers had just as much
right to have their offal removed as house
holders, and l think he is right, and it can
be shown he is right. If / am not mistaken,
in other cities the municipal authorities are
compelled to remove all otfal; the storekeep-
ers' as well as householders. 1t has to be
placed In convenient vessels for the eity's
agents to handle. Boston / am quite certain
has such law.
Some years ago everybody looked after
their own offal. Men or boys were hired to
call on certain days to take 1t away. Then
the city authorities contracted with John l..
Best, and arrested anybody but the city's
agent caught hauling offal, and have never
seen any authority from the city permitting
citizens to arrange for removal of house Of
fal provided the city agent failed to make
his contract calls. If any such authority
has been given / should like to know it.
If the city agent is not going to call at the
stores for the Offal there collected what is to
be done with it? Ii allow mine to remain
and breed a pestilence l. shall be proceeded
against as nuisance. If haul it to the
Back Bay and dump it-as always used to be
done with it'll shall be proceeded against as

on somebody's land l shall be proceeded

stroy it by burning and thus create a terri

nuisance. In any case | am sure to be pro-
ceeded against as nuisance. | am bound

good rights to have my offal looked after by
the city as any householder. for pay taxes
